[Starting Author's Note]

Hello! This is my first Sasuke x Hinata fanfic and I'm still iffy about how this story will progress. All I had running before this story was general idea and bits of some chapters. I don't really know if I want to continue this story because so far, I feel like I'm just telling you what's going on instead of painting a picture. I'm more into descriptive writing but it's hard to do that here with such simple scenes but I will try and do my best to finish it...Finish it well, I mean.. I already have another story I'm running so I want to finish that before working on this full speed. I really suggest reading the summaries before reading onwards.

Summary About This Story: A Hyuuga country girl visits the city where her cousin resides every summer and happens to encounter an Uchiha city boy. They each grow a little bit closer with every waking moment they have with each other since the country girl has to return before Autumn starts. And one summer, the excitable Hyuuga flies to the city hoping to encounter last year's summer love. Although she does, little does she know that her summer love suffers from amnesia from a collision. That summer, she was determined to repaint the days of their summer.

Summary About This Chapter: It's about a country girl named Hinata who flies to her cousin's city every summer and returns home at the end of it. One summer day towards the end of her leave (2 weeks before), she encounters a certain raven-head Uchiha who seems to be sitting alone. Country girls like Hinata are friendly and sweet so she tries striking up a conversation but the Uchiha pushes her away thinking she's just another girl who wants to get with him. But Hinata still attempts to make conversation. By the end of the day, they decide to spend the last couple weeks together.

| Summer Time |
~ Preface Part 1 ~

.:.::.::.:.

It's about that time of season again. The gaudy sun, packed beaches, ice cream 24/7 and not to mention: Summer Flings. It was the summer after graduating from High School, a circle of close friends threw their last group party at the beach before they had to seperate into their own paths.

"Naruto, you fuckhead! You didn't fucking tell me about having it at an open beach!" The onyx-haired man hissed. The man wasn't exactly a nice guy. He was handsome and was very popular with the ladies. He didn't particularly like summer. It was too hot, too many girls eyeballing him whenever he even steps onto beach sand and the girls in this city were so..so...rambunctious and flashy. He hated the girls here since they would always throw themselves over them, literally.

"Hey~ Sasuke~ You should get in the water you know?" Strands of bubblegum lay over his shoulders, scrawny arms wrapping around his neck. It was obvious from afar that the man wasn't interested but it struck his friend: Naruto, as odd for not falling under the pink-haired girl's seduction.

Although Sasuke respected her for knowing what she wants and fighting for it, but she was too bold and irresponsible. When she gets what she wants she gets bored real quickly then lamely spreads rumors. Sighing, he swat his hands from her as Naruto chuckled. "Geez Sasuke, you don't have to be an asshole! Let's have fun! As a group. Just one last time! Now get your ass in the water!" Naruto pounced on his best friend, tearing, stripping him of his clothing as Sasuke tried pushing his so-called-best-friend off him. Sand was flung everywhere and they ended up tackling into the scorching sand.

"Naruto! Get off me! I can't stay in the sun for long!" Sasuke shoved Naruto off him, kicking sand around. Naruto scratched his head, feeling a little guilty. "G-Geez.. I'm sorry man, I didn't mean to. I just wanted you to have some fun with us..." He bowed his head, pouting. The blondie didn't mean to be so aggressive with him but he meant well. He was only thinking about his best friend but I guess you can't force anyone to have fun.

"You should know better, are you clueless? Do you know why I can't stay out in the sun?" Sasuke scowled at his best friend who hugged his knees, playing with sand. He didn't like being scolded, especially by Sasuke. Still pouting, he shook his head childishly.

"I get really bad sun burns you dumbass! Everyone in the whole fucking city can fucking tan. I don't tan, I burn! You got that? Why do you think I kept asking you where your little frat parties were and when you say 'beach' I immeditately decline? You're hopeless, you know that?"

"N-Now, now Sasuke... He didn't know.." The bubble-gum haired girl placed a gentle hand on his shoulder. His onyx eyes piercing into her emeralds with disgust. Narrowing his eyes at her, he shrugged her off roughly. Shivers crawled down her back, feeling cold despite the sun baking her.

"And you! Don't you fucking touch me! You're just some socialite dumb fuck who thinks it's OKAY to slut everyone up and touch me with out permission! I mean, look at Ino! At first, she was alright but then you brought her into your little clique and now she's a total bitch because of you! Some friend, huh?" He chuckled to himself. Although he was well aware he was making a scene, it felt good to let everything out. Part of him wanted to stop though.

Sakura backed away slowly, hugging her arms to herself. Twisting emotions of anger, hurt, and sorrow confused her as she kicked the sand angrily. "Asshole! Don't talk to Sakura like that! You know she's sensitive!" Naruto threw a punch at Sasuke but he quickly wrapped his hand in his fist, throwing it down.

"I just wanted to let it all out, I rarely get to voice anything from my perspective. Now go in the water, dweeb. I'll watch our stuff." Sasuke plopped himself in the sand as his 'friends' hesitently rushed to the water. Not long after, they were all splashing each other with hearty laughs filling the atmosphere. All Sasuke wanted to do was burn to death, despite everything he soon realized that sun makes him beyond cranky. He closed his eyes, acknowledging he'd fall asleep and wake with a sun burn.

I hate the sun.. Moments later, a lavender parasol hovered over him, protecting him from the light. He peeked his eyes open and found a slender girl standing way overhead of him, cream white eyes boring into him with lips curled. He stared at her woven straw hat wrapped with a cream polka dot ribbon at the base of the mound. "You should be more careful, you'll get sun burnt like that!" A faint blush settled on her face as she fiddled with the bottom of her little summer dress.

He scanned her up and down, closing his eyes once more. Just another fangirl wanting to get some. But she looks humble. Schemy little girl. A soft thud hit the ground and peeked over at the long-haired girl. "Look, I'm not interested, go away."

Her eyes widened as she shook her head vigorously, "N-no! It's not like that.. I.. If I go, I'll have to take the parasol with me. I get sun burnt quite easily myself..." She smiled with her eyes pointed at the ocean, hugging her knees closely to herself.

"Why are you here?" Sasuke turned his body away from the girl. Oh how he wanted to leave. But this girl seemed easy to talk to. She was just a little too persistent for his tastes.

"W-why? Well... We're both really light so I just assumed you would get sunburnt. And you were alone! So... I just wanted to do a good deed. I did well r-right?" She leaned over, her hair falling gently on Sasuke's unblemished skin. She stared at his toned arms, a light blush creeping over her unblemished features. Sasuke's head whipped over his shoulders with a glare that clearly told her not to do anything funny.

"You know.. I love sun! It's a shame I can't bathe in it.." She giggled quietly to herself, hoping to strike up a conversation. No response. Hinata pouted, were all city boys this cold? I mean, she only knew Neji up until now and he's pretty stern.. "Where I live, I have a lot of sun! It's very nice, except there's a lot of trees around me so it sometimes gets in the way. You're so lucky to live here!" Hinata stirred her fingers in the sand in a circling motion, thinking of another topic.

"Hey, you! Where do you live?" Sasuke rolled his body towards her, staring at her long locks. They looked silky and shone without it looking too greasy. Hinata blinked into his eyes with confusion but her face lit up within seconds.

"Please, call me Hinata! I live far, far, far away! It's some quaint town full of trees, gardens, sun. It's refreshing and peaceful." She giggled humbly, it wasn't some seductive fake giggle like that dreadful pink-haired girl but it was soft and songbird-like.

"Why would you want to leave?" He scowled. By her vague description, he wanted to have a look himself. Maybe study there if their education was good but no, he just had to be the son of an executive and was to study at one of the cities most pristine schools. He hated this busy place and the people.

"After living by yourself, it's kind of lonesome and there's not many people in my town. Well, except my two very best friends. Kiba and Shino."

Names of two boys? Sasuke pondered whether or not that meant she was another whore or a legitimate girl who happens to be friends with everyone. Especially in a small town.. Hmm.. "Two guys?" Sasuke narrowed his eyes, crossing his arms. But a girl as sweet as her is pretty friendly.

"Ah! Yes.. They are nice boys. We all grew up in an orphanage together! We did almost everything together. Study, eat, sleep... In different beds of course! We also went on plenty of adventures... I'm a little bit sad that I leave every summer with out them but they are sweet. They always tell me stories about their stories." Sasuke smirked, she seemed like a genuine girl. A comforting silence let his guard down as Hinata pulled out a small container containing a variety of different sweets.

"Look! I picked these up from my village. They're handmade treats.." She set the box down in between them, offering him to eat. "I don't eat sweets." He pushed the offer away, Hinata's lips curving into a frown.

"Meh.. It's okay. People often don't eat sweets at this age, mister!" She lowered her head, closing her eyes. She was as serene as the clear sky and Sasuke found him growing curiosity in this country girl because she wasn't the touchy-feely type. "Call me Sasuke." He turned over on his stomach, crossing his arms to rest his head on.

"Sasuke.." Her eyes gleamed as she played with his name on her tongue. "Stop that, it's annoying." He deadpanned. Although her company was light, it was refreshing. He couldn't remember the last time he actually sat down and talked with someone about whatever. Not even half an hour into it, the couple hit it off with light hearted chattering.

"Ah man~ The sun's going down!" Naruto threw his neck back, basking in the cooling sun. He floated lazily on the ocean's surface as he peeked over at his best friend. "WOAH! WHAT THE HELL." He wailed his arms, splashing himself under.

"What the hell... Naruto! What're you doing, dumbass?" Shikamaru peered at him through the dull waters, clutching onto the beach ball Ino had thrown him. Naruto pointed a finger at Sasuke who seemed to be sleeping.. With a girl.

"Sasuke!" Sakura felt like her soul had broken into pieces and felt a black hole swallow her whole as she dipped herself in the water. "Sakura!" Ino rushed to help her friend, fanning her to her senses.

"It's about time that guy gets some.." Shikamaru whistled as he tossed the ball to Chouji. They didn't really care for the Uchiha so they kept a rally of bumping and setting. Chouji had tried to spike and ended up landing right on Naruto's face, drowning him. "Ah Chouji~ You bastard!" He whined as his eyes turned towards Sasuke. It bothered him. He should be getting it on, not sleeping. Naruto stomped out of the ocean, sprinting towards the sleeping couple.

"Hey! Naruto! Just leave them alone!" Shikamaru called after him, shaking his head. "I'm just going to have a look!" Naruto yelled back. He was kinda excited to see the chick but he was a little disappointed in Sasuke.

Carefully, he approached the sleeping beauties. The girl slept on her side, flaunting those curves. The sun had shone on her face, exposing her long eyelashes, pouty lips and smooth complexion. Not bad... Naruto stared but directed his attention the gap in between them. Frowning, he kicked Sasuke.

"Naruto..Stop." Sasuke peeked an eye open at the blondie looking down on him with a large grin.

"Dude, we gotta go now. Nice chick you have there. Good choice." Naruto gave him a thumbs up but Sasuke leered at him, spitting at his face. Naruto grumbled and picked Sasuke up. "I'm going to get the team together, we're going out for a dinner. Do you..want to come?" Naruto looked at the sleeping girl, unsure whether or not to ask her.

"Nah, go on without me. I'll be heading straight home."

"Man! You party pooper.. But if that's what you want... I mean.. You could always take the girl wi-" Before Naruto could say anymore, Sasuke slapped the side of his head. "No, you are not meeting her and no I am not going to sleep with her, dobe."

"Sigh.. As you wish." Naruto scurried off, calling for his friends to retreat. "Guys! Let's go eat Ramen one last time together!" He cheered.

The beach had begun to empty as Sasuke watched Hinata's eyes bat open sleepily. "Good evening." He smirked as she lay there, dead although eyes open. "W-What time is it?" She asked, jerking her head around.

"It's about 7PM. How'd you nap?"

"Oh! It was nice.. I'm sorry you had to wait for me to wake. Oh dear, I think I'm going to be late for my cousin's company dinner! I'm so sorry, I have to go!" She quickly closed her parasol and packed her belongings into her small tote bag. Sasuke offered his help but she quickly refused as she suggested he walked with her to her bike.

"Thank you for spending time with me.. D-Do you think we can see each other again?" Hinata asked hesitently. Butterflies started to flutter at the pit of her stomach, making her lace her fingers together. Sasuke chuckled as he gently rubbed her head. "We'll see each other everyday until your leave."

Hinata flushed as red as a tomato as she locked her parasol around the basket set on the front of her bike. She reached into her tote and pulled a polaroid camera. "D-Do you think we can..? I mean, I want to make every memory count.."

Sasuke was a bit hesitent, he didn't like pictures. But he could always make an exception. "Only because you asked nicely.." He mumbled. Immediately, Hinata placed herself a reasonable space beside him. With a graceful smile plastered over Hinata's porcelain doll features and slight lip curve on Sasuke's part, snap.

That was memory number one.
